FACTS AND TRADITIONS OF
THE UNITED STATES NAVY
1. The U. S. Navy has had but
four Fleet actions, and in each one
has captured or destroyed every
enemy ship.
2. No U. S. Naval ship has ever
been in the hands of mutineers, while
in other Navies, whole squadrons and
fleets have been in the hands of mu
tineers.
3. The U. S. Navy is the only
Navy in the world that owns a Royal
Standard by capture, taken at York,
Canada, by Commodore Chauncey.
4. The U. S. Navy holds the rec
ord for the capture of 17 British
Ensigns in one day, at the Battle of
Lake Champlain. This beats the cap
ture of sixteen by the French at the,,
Battle of La Hogue.
in the war of 1812-1815, the U.
S. Navy captured or destroyed every
ship put in the Great Lakes by Great
Britian.
fi. There has never been a mutiny
of any sort in the Marine Corps, hence
its motto, “Semper Fidelis.”
7. The CONSTITUTION took dur
ing the War of 1812, } ,100 prisoners.
The U. S. Navy did not lose during the
entire war, 1,100 officers, sailors, and
marine prisoners.
8. The U. S. Navy possesses in the
Constitution frigate the greatest man-1
of-war that ever sailed the seas. She
did five unprecedented things:
(a) She knocked down the stone
forest of Tripoli.
(b) She escaped from Admiral
Blake’s squadron of seven ships, after
a four days’ chase without losing a
gun, a boat or an anchor.
(c) She defeated the Guerriere, a
crack British Frigate, in seventeen
minutes after firing the first broad
side wrecking the Guerriers, which
lost 179 men.
(d) She shot every spar out of the
“Java” frigate in a running fight,
without taking in her royals, that is
to say, licked her enemy without tak
ing off her coat.
() She captured the “Cyane” and
“Levant” at the same time without
being raked once, while every broad
side she fired was a raking broadside.
In addition, she ran the blockade of
British ships seven times. She never
lost her Commanding Officer, she never
went aground, the largest number of
men she ever lost in a fight was eight.
She was in commission more than
pight years.
9. The chest measurement of re
cruits in the U. S. Navy is the largest
of any Navy in the world.
